3/25/15: Perhaps it is just Karma or perhaps the Houston Astros made a really good decision last year. Recall that the Astros selected pitching prospect Brady Aiken first overall in 2014. The team had concerns about his elbow and reduced their offer from over $7 million per year to $5 million per year. Negotiations stalled and Aiken will go back into the draft this year. The Astros received the second overall pick as compensation. Now Aiken has more elbow problems and was shut down in a pitching drill. His draft stock may slip a lot with this problem, making the Astros look pretty smart for not justifying the big contract.

3/18/15: The people in Southeast Texas have suffered through several years of bad baseball while the Houston Astros have rebuilt their entire organization. That is a painful experience to go through as a fan, not to mention as a player or coach. However, the Astros are on the verge of turning the corner. While the Chicago Cubs get all the press, the Astros have also been grooming several top-end prospects. Pitcher Mark Appel is among those prospects. He has been sidelined for a few weeks with injury, but the Astros' first round pick in 2013 may make his MLB debut this season, and stick around for a while.

3/11/15: The Houston Astros have been living pretty steadily at the bottom of the standings for the past few years while they rebuilt their organization from the ground up under the guidance of Jeff Luhnow. This could be the season that fans start to see some tangible results, though, so there should be some excitement in Houston. One that got away was pitcher Ryan Vogelsong, though. The Astros had a one year, $4 million deal worked out, but lowered their offer after the physical. Voglesong returned to the San Francisco Giants instead. But, sometimes the best deal one can make is the deal not made.
